Billionaire developer Donald Trump is still holding his own in a new Fox News poll, while establishment candidates Jeb Bush, Scott Walker and Marco Rubio are all losing traction.
Trump is continuing to dominate with 25 percent support nationally while retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, is running second at 12 percent. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, known for locking horns with Republican congressional leaders, is third at 10 percent. Those findings mirror recent polls in Iowa and elsewhere.
Bush has place 9 percent for a fourth place finish, droping from 15 percent and second place in a Fox News poll conducted earlier this month, before the first GOP presidential debate.
Walker, the Wisconsin governor, meanwhile, is tied for fifth, at 6 percent down from 9 percent earlier this month....

Eric Erickson was saying the same Trump down in polls nonsense, too.
It is amusing.
Ben Carson and Ted Cruz are the two most intelligent candidates running. They both have tremendous faith in God. Ben Carson has the advantage of not being a part of the political crowd. Right now people are sick to death of politicians and the elites that pull their strings.
I don’t believe Cruz is one of the elites or a politician with strings attached, but some people may feel more comfortable with someone with no ties at all to the establishment.
Carson sure puts a wrench in the left’s #blacklivesmatter plans. He talks about the abortion mills and Margaret Sanger and sends the rats scurrying.
Trump, Carson, Cruz and Fiorina. I’m thinking two of those four will make up the GOP 2016 Ticket. If Trump is the nominee, it will be Cruz. Here’s why I think so. Cruz knows politics and Washington; one of the two needs to know how to get around all the sewer in that town. If it’s Cruz, I’m going to say it will be Carson..... possibly Donald.
Ben Carson: It’s simple. He’s not a Washington insider and he has a common sense, Conservative approach, and solutions, to the problems we face. He can be tough as nails, but come across intelligent, gentle, witty and classy. He’s damn impressive.
Please see Post #47. Re: Your Post #15 - You are so full of shit!
Be careful, 2ndDivisionVet! You are going to be attacked by Trump supporters.
On another thread about Ted Cruz today, a Trump supporter said that Jim Robinson supporting Ted Cruz was old news. Now he claims that JimRob supports Trump first, before Ted Cruz.
It speaks volumes that Cruz was able to move into the 3 spot after FOX froze him out for 40 minutes! It’s a long term chess match, I’m happy Cruz isn’t in the lead yet because it looks like he’s starting to peak at the right time.
Coming from a guy with the originator of the KKK as his nick, such a statement is predictable
Never liked Chris Wallace since he got the job from Brit Hume.
9 percent for Jebbie is getting into nomination waters.
Check his donor list. If his superpac has people who donated one, two, five or even half million, he is obligated to them. These rich people are not fools and idiots. They do not donate because they like his face.
carly? She is for Cap & Trade tax! And a McCain underling.

I know. I couldn’t find the story that was posted on here some days ago. Fiorina said that had she been elected Senator, she would have voted to confirm Sotomayor to the SCOTUS. As far as I was concerned, she pissed into the wind right then. But, you never know what the voters are going to do.
So you think that Carson or anyone else with a superpac is beholden to whoever gives money? I’m not as cynical as you are. I don’t agree that just because Carson and Cruz have a superpacs they must strings attached.
I don’t believe either of those two men are shills for anyone. But 2ndDivisionVet asked why Carson. So I told him and he’s an outsider. People don’t see ties to DC. Cruz is a senator. He does not have that luxury. And just for you, I guess the little people like Carson’s face. :-)
Bill Cunningham was trying to argue on his radio show Sunday that no “summer frontrunner” in the primary who was polling at Trump’s level or lower in the last 35 years ever went on to win the nomination.
I think Cunningham said his preferred candidates were Rubio, Walker, Fiorina and Kasich. He also said abortion is a “non-issue” to him. He said Trump would be great on the economy and he would gladly vote for him over the Democrats if he won the primary.
